Automatic SS-II Speed Limiter and speedometer, What do I need to get the car usable? Options

[jcohen]

Hi all,

Can anyone help me identify what or where in the UK I can get the speed limiter and spedometer converted on a 1994 JDM SS-II ST202?

I bought the car from an importer who was apparently selling the car on behalf of another private importer, hence the speedo only reads KPM (and only to 180!) and the car cuts out (rather dramatically) once it reaches this. The dealer promised to sort out the speedo and expressed supprise about the limiter but since it's an auto the only solution he could provide was a new speedo face that reads up to 110 MPH... I also understand from other threads that cutting wires isn't wise on an auto to remove the limiter.

Apart from the obvious danger of the thing cutting out while accelarating round a corner, it's getting a bit embarrising being passed on the motorway by, well just about everything....

Firstly, getting passed on the freeway at 180 km per hour is not embarassing. There will always be a car with higher final speed but who cares. My GT4 and My Curren are both JDMs and both have this limiters. I do not even consider trying to get them off because to put it simple words they dont mean anything. The first time i broke the 200 km per hour limit was with my dad's 1.5L 4 door Lancer about 10 years ago when i was 18. After that the only thing that impressed me was the 300km per hour with a supra.

Now since you want to do something about the speed limiter; you can always remove it somehow and there are some add-on kits to convert kms into miles. Just get a mag about import cars and you will find plenty of ads about it.
